General election for Mayor and two City Council members

Fredericksburg ISD $160 Million Bond Election

Texas is having important primary election runoffs on May 26, 2026. But, as school districts often do, Fredericksburg ISD is holding a special election on May 2, 2026 for a $160 million bond issue. That timing is a common strategy for school districts since they can count on very low voter turnout overall while motivated supporters will show up at the polls.

Kyle Biedermann explains what this means for Gillespie county here

Nearly every Gillespie Co registered voter can vote for the bond – there is a small section of the county that is Harper ISD (those individuals cannot vote for an FISD bond).

If you own property and pay FISD school taxes, or if your kids are zoned to FISD, you CAN vote!

The new middle school was $66 million. The new high school will be almost 2.5x that amount.
